Commercial Description:
This stout is sheer beer poetry. Let it warm to about 45 F and pour it into a glass to fully experience its rich, roasty flavors and hints of coffee and chocolate. One glass and you'll agree: The Poet is truly a rich, creamy brew of epic proportions.

Very nice. Pours black with a brown head. Lots of rich, chewy malt and roast flavors. Smooth, dry finish. I dig it.

Pours a dark near black with mahogany highlights and thin tan head. Aroma is semi-weet malt and a hint of cocoa. Slightly astringent with some acity. I wonder if I had an old bottle?

pours a very dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is sweet chocolate, roasted malt, some dark fruit and light coffee tones. Flavour was roasty choc, some dark fruit. A bit thin on the palate, slightly oily oatmealy middle, hint of bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Poured a black color with a very nice tan head. Strong coffee, chocolate, and roasty malt aromas. The beer had a medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation, and an abrupt finish. The flavor had a medium sweetness with the same flavors as the aroma. I am becoming more and more a fan of dark beers and this one just adds to the list of good dark beers. I was very impressed with easy it went down. I would definately drink this again and recommend it to others.

From bottle. Part of October Dayton Beer Tasting event. Poured near-black with scant tan head. Aromas of coffee and malt. Thinner mouthfeel than expected. Coffee and dark chocolate flavors. Easy drinking.

Draft pour. Nice dark black in color with a barely there tannish head. Nice roasted coffee and semi-sweet chocolate aroma, with flavor to match. Slightly bitter nutty finish. My only complaint is that the mouthfeel is a bit thin.

This stout poured a deep black colour with a short lived, tan coloured head. Scents include coffee, roasted malts, caramel and cocoa. First taste was smooth and roasty with flavours of coffee and roasted malt. Other flavours include caramel, cocoa and nuts. Finish is roasted and palate is slightly bitter coffee/caramel.
